Geometrical Shape

Geometrical Shape thumbnail

Adapted from Geometrical Shape, created by Julia Hilt.

Connected diagonals divide a square into shapes that can be read as lines, triangles, or one complete figure. This GIC adaptation demonstrates the law of continuity.

// ABOUTME: Draws an ambiguous square assembled from continuous line segments.
// ABOUTME: Demonstrates continuity with a rectangle and intersecting diagonals.
